Chelmsford Bee Removal

There are several different species of bees. Very few bees in the United Kingdom are dangerous, although some can create a nuisance if they nest near doors or windows. While bees aren’t protected, they are endangered. Bees are a important element of the local ecosystem and so shouldn’t be relocated or killed unless it is completely necessary.

Bees rarely present a serious threat. However, they can swarm or nest which behaviour can be disruptive, especially when they nest in a ceiling or wall cavity. The best course of action is normally to simply leave the nest alone, as bees don’t have a long life cycle. At the point where nests are the most recognisable, it is normally because the bees are getting prepared to move on.

If you have a swarm or nest of bees that you need to have relocated, it’s best to contact a beekeeper who’ll be able to come and safely gather the bees. They may remove them to their own site, or be able to move the nest to a local area that is less disruptive. The British Beekeepers Association are a charity that establish standards for certified beekeepers.
